Law Access matches applications for pro bono legal assistance from individuals and not for profit organisations to lawyers. The means-tested service is designed to increase community access to justice and legal services where the application has legal merit and all other avenues of assistance such as Legal Aid and community legal centres have been exhausted. Law Access also identifies and refers matters of public interest with potential flow-on benefits for many more disadvantaged and marginalised Australians. Our vision is Equal Access to Justice and our mission is to relieve disadvantage through pro bono legal assistance. We wish to thank the lawyers and law firms who accept pro bono referrals, our funders, donors, and the sponsors who provide direct in-kind support for our administration. We are also grateful for the law student volunteers who assist in assessing and placing applications for pro bono assistance. We would also like to thank the Law Society of Western Australia’s CPD presenters who donate to Law Access. Law Access acknowledges our Principal Supporters the Law Society of Western Australia and the University of Western Australia Law School.
